Chip wasn't infallible. But his mad-genius level coaching enabled Oregon's 2009- 14 run w/o blue blood type MONEY, TRADITION and LOCATION.
I don't think a guy of Dan's abilities could have elevated Oregon in the same way post Mike B.
While at the same time what Chip did was kind of a one time moment in history and the game evolved. Eventually the @oregonblitzkrieg ran out of gas at the gates of Moscow.
It feels like you’re arguing with a wall regarding CK. Everyone here hearts him.
I don’t care if Oregon “buys” a natty. You’ve all been saying that for about 20 years anyway including when he was here. Am I supposed to not want them to win and pray another good and right SEC team wins it?
UW has more money and circumstance than Oregon State. Sounds like that’s not fair and you bought your sugar bowl last year.
College football is capitalism. There’s no right way to win it. It’s not fair USC is in the only major city out west with recruits. It’s not fair Phil Knight invented Nike at Oregon. Nothing has ever been sacred, righteous or fair in college football. That’s all religious type malarkey. It’s not magic. It’s not bestowed by god. It’s circumstance and luck and all of that changes over time.
If Oregon wins I’m getting the T-shirt, the SI cover and a hat. Then everyone just does it all over again the next year.
